Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      Also: Cryptojacking protection (default) If you want to just block things, that's one course. If you want to block the problems and be part of a movement toward authentic user consent that doesn't leave content creators and publishers in the cold, then we're here.

      Comparisons, to other browsers and extensions are always going to be there, but we are aiming higher by creating a viable, mainstream-friendly alternative for a free web where creators earn, without the user's privacy invasion being a "cost of doing business."

      Something else to mention: ongoing research to automate exception management, protect against bounce trackers, and minimize false positives in blocking. We are working to minimize the burden on users of today's ad/tracker-blockers. https://brave.com/brave-proposes-a-machine-learning-approach-for-ad-blocking/ …https://brave.com/redirection-based-tracking/ …

      Is providing random info to trackers and saturate them with noise a good approach? Just blocking them doesn’t seem to work

      Don't load & give fake info to trackers you encounter. Share them p2p with an army of users who will automatically fake view & click them.

      You have to load them to share them; these scripts use fingerprinting as well as cookies/equiv. to track users. If you build bots to browser and collect (we do), you'll find it costly to perform ad fraud. @WhiteOps busted MethBot doing $3-5M day by fooling ad buyers into paying.

      MethBot used cloud infra (in at least Texas and Amsterdam), fake pub sites, fake headless browser users. It fooled the anti-fraud pixels/scripts bundled with ads to attempt to prove humans viewed/clicked. Impressive work, big cap-ex -- but fraud take was bigger and made profit.

      https://whiteops.com/methbot  has details but (of course) leaves out which ad exchanges were (unintentionally) collaborating with MethBot for a fee. The ad "buy side" is CMOs who have to spend budgets, can blame weather, salespeople, tech on low sales. Fee takers loot this gross spend.

      Estimates say Google and FB take 90% of gross spend, and almost all incremental spend. Say G takes 60%. If 20% is fraud per @acfou and uniformly distributed, $80B * .6 * .2 = $9.6B fraud-fees. No one wants this to go away.

      Google doesn't care about ad fraud because it makes money. Many ad agencies also don't care because they bill 15% of the ad spend. The company's marketing managers arr paid more (+ more bonus) if they manage large accounts. So it goes on.

      The same way banks didn't care about mortgage fraud.
